摘要: 遗传性心肌病(Inherited cardiomyopathy, ICM)是一种常见的遗传性心脏疾病,主要由基因突变所致,是青少年和年轻运动员猝死的最主要原因之一。到目前为止,已经发现约100个基因和其致病有关,这些基因相关的变异位点具有不同的致病机制。随着临床遗传检测在遗传疾病诊断中的应用,对遗传性心肌病的分子遗传学特性及其致病机制进行深入了解,是对该病遗传诊断的关键。下一代半导体测序仪在2010年底由美国Life Technologies公司发布,其以布满微孔的高密度半导体芯片为测序基础,具有快速、经济、灵敏性好、准确率高等特点,已经应用于遗传疾病的突变筛查。文章主要对遗传性心肌病的分子遗传学特性和下一代半导体测序技术在遗传性心肌病遗传检测中的应用以及面临的挑战进行了概括总结,有助于遗传性心肌病的诊断、预防和治疗。

Abstract: Inherited cardiomyopathy is the most common hereditary cardiac disease. It also causes a significant proportion of sudden cardiac deaths in young adults and athletes. So far, approximately one hundred genes have been reported to be involved in cardiomyopathies through different mechanisms. Therefore, the identification of the genetic basis and disease mechanisms of cardiomyopathies are important for establishing a clinical diagnosis and genetic testing. Next-generation semiconductor sequencing (NGSS) technology platform is a high-throughput sequencer capable of analyzing clinically derived genomes with high productivity, sensitivity and specificity. It was launched in 2010 by Life Technologies of USA, and it is based on a high density semiconductor chip, which was covered with tens of thousands of wells. NGSS has been successfully used in candidate gene mutation screening to identify hereditary disease. In this review, we summarize these genetic variations, challenge and application of NGSS in inherited cardiomyopathy, and its value in disease diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
